+Arnold Evrkachen Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've been trying to download and install st2gpx from the GPSBabel site, but when I get to the page that shows it, and I click on it, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Must GPSBabel be installed in order to use st2gpx? Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Must GPSBabel be installed in order to use st2gpx? No. ST2GPX is a separate program. I was able to download it without any problems from this page (link). Quote Link to comment

It's just a single click with the left mouse button, correct? And, yes, I am somewhat familiar with command line programs. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) You need to open the file with a ZIP program. These are included with Windows XP and above. If you have one installed, double clicking the file should open it. Double clicking is normally the default way to open files. Once open, extract the file to a folder and run the program from a command line. Edited May 22, 2009 by Red90 Quote Link to comment

Yes one left click works for me. It opens another page then the save file dialog appears (it took about 7 seconds for the dialog to display on my system). I wonder if it has something to do with the browser settings on your system? Quote Link to comment

I didn't realize that I needed to click on "Options" and then make sure that the "+/-" nest to "Filenames" was set to "+". I got the download done. Thanks to those who offered help.
